CHASE, MARTIN HOLD BALLOON

Comedians Chevy Chase and Steve Martin took turns holding down a giant Casper the Friendly Ghost balloon as the pair helped singer Paul Simon make a new music video.

The 4 1/2 -minute video filmed Saturday will feature the comics clowning amid the floats and baton twirlers in the Jaycees Christmas parade. The video will accompany a single from Simon's latest album, "Rhythm of the Saints."

The trio marched a few blocks through downtown with the Shriners' Acca Temple Oriental Band, then rode a float the remainder of the parade.
